[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5875412, member: 2805"] No idea on how many acres of excellent habitat it takes to hold 1000 nests, but for sure, hens don't like to nest close to one another. As far as 'nest success', I'm not sure if they are defining it as an actual nest hatched (successful and complete incubation resulting in a live poult). If so, the VAST majority of nests that actually do hatch produce 10+ poults out of the clutch. So a small increase in successful nests results in a dramatic increase in number of day old poults. Problem is... the vast majority of those day old poults don't make it till August. [/QUOTE]
